So … it sounds better with MV fully open and gain to adjust level At rehearsals last night I was running the MV full and gain around 12 o clock Sounded great 👍

At home ( sensible volume ) I can run the gain at 3 o clock and master at 7 o clock and it’s a lovely tone Will try at rehearsals tonight running high input gain and less MV compared to MV open fully ( last weeks method ) Band said it was the best tone I’ve ever had however in addition to the V4 I was using my Stingray and playing with a pick !!! We were playing Led Zeppelin !!

Curious how other V4B amp users run their gain and Master Volume ? Sone say master volume wide open and others set gain and adjust MV to suit requirements?

Thank you

Thanks … The LBT is a cleaner sounding Orange amp with a warmth to its tone. Suitable for most genres I think and a loud 500w head too

Decided to put mine up for sale on here ( I have three amps and one must go ) Virtually unused as purchased as a backup amp

Give Paul a ring ( great bloke )

Great company 👍

Nice rig 👍

That’s my preference the ported “ compact” non Neo cabs They seem to handle more lows and volume compared to the Pro Neo versions ( sealed )

Dimarzio model P 👍

Further tone updates Im finding it sounds nicer with the input gain up high and use the master volume for final level It keeps sounding better an better every time I play it It’s a very nice tone that’s beyond doubt

Decided to stop using a compressor now I’ve got a tube amp

That’s most odd .. sounds like a Jack fault perhaps ?

Check the battery perhaps ? Although mine ( new bass ) was a good 9V so it should be ok

Normal mono guitar leads

My new Ray 34 headstock

They have a simplicity to the EQ and it just works. Probably the wrong amp for jazz or other genres but for rock it’s perfect

Yes and for rock I find it sounds really good especially when pushed !

It sounds great with my Ray34 but wow really good with my Dimarzio P loaded PBass !!

Yes the compressor added nothing !! Although the compressor works really well in front of the ABM600 I do like the sensible +2db boost with the Ultra Low ( doesn’t make it boomy and you can add lots of 800hz mids ) Gives it a fuller sound in my opinion

After recently purchasing this from my fellow basschatter I used the V4B at rehearsals. My concerns about how loud were soon dismissed, these heads for 100W are loud. Its an excellent match to the SVT212AV cab and has a great Ampeg growl / grind tone. The EQ is very easy to work with and I found it was better not using my compression pedal instead go straight in with my bass. Last night I used my Ray34 and the band said it was by far the best sound they had heard from me. Naturally I’m super pleased about this and I suspect this will be my small to medium venue rig and use my ABM600 rig for larger or outside gigs. I ran the master fully open last night on the V4B and used the gain control for volume, sounded great. Tried it today and I think I prefer the master as required and use the gain set around 3pm Also found today I like the Ultra Low ON ( it only boosts the bass a bit and reduces 500hz) but I turn the bass control down a little and crank the 800hz control. This seems to be a sweet spot for the amp, will see how it sounds next week when played louder with the band. Anyone who likes a great rock sound for small to medium sized gigs I can recommend this amp and cab. Better than my ABM600 ( nope ) just different in feel and tone.
